OPTI 82c931

hello all,

can anyone describe the exact steps on how can i install OPTI 82c931 on my system ?
I know all card resources (irq, io, etc), and i'm not interested to install it as a module.
I use kernel 2.0.35

thank you in advance

George A. Michalopoulos

Use the modular sound patch from Alan. I think RedHat's kernel source package contains this.

Actually I have an OPTi82C931 running on RedHat Linux 5.0 kernel 2.0.35. I just recently got it working.

//www.sequel.demon.co.uk/opti.html was a great help in this regard. You will have to download a small C program compile and run it. Before this you must compile the kernel to use the correct sound modules: I use the MSS and OPL3 modules, for some reason I could'nt get the MAD16 drivers working, but MSS works just fine. You will also have to set up /etc/isapnp.conf to for Linux to be able to see your card.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those who responded to a newbie's cry when he was having trouble with his OPTi82C931. The least I can do in gratitude is help another one. So if you have any more problems even after the above, feel free to contact me, I guess our situations are identical (same card, same distribution), by the way, what is your kernel number, upgrading mine helped, along with solving some other problems I had.

I can't seem to find you original post on my machine, but as far as I remember, you were asking if it were possible to compile sound as part of the kernel and not as modules. When doing a make menuconfig (after upgrading to 2.0.35) I noticed that I was no longer allowed to do this (I was able at 2.0.32) I guess now the OSS modules are just that -modules. Anyway why burden your kernel even more?

Hope this helps,
